MOM'S APPLE CAKE



Mom's Apple Cake image

This is the only cake my mom ever baked - she was the daughter of a confectioner and taught me nearly everything about making cakes and tarts, but she never baked anything except this cake, because it was my favorite apple cake. She also made it with plums, but you can use any fruit you like. This cake maybe is not what you expect a cake to be - in Germany it is called a baking tray - cake which means that you spread the batter onto a baking tray which makes a flat cake, more like what you would call a "bar", I suppose, with a crisp bottom.

MY MOM'S APPLE CAKE



My Mom's Apple Cake image

When I was a kid, this was the cake that my Mom made for every potluck in my Dad's office. I remember seeing this glistening can on the cut crystal plate when Dad would go off to work and I wished that there were leftovers for me. As an adult, I make this cake for special occasions. My husband and I had a two day wedding celebration and this is the cake I gave to the restaurant to serve for dessert after the first dinner.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar or 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups canola oil
1 teaspoon good vanilla extract
1/4 cup orange juice
2 cups finely grated apples, with peel on (Can use more, in my house we usually use an entire 1/2 peck bag of apples in the recipe)
1 cup chopped walnuts, do not toast them
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°. Well grease a baking pan. I double this recipe and use a bundt pan and grease it with shortening since it has a higher melting point. Then flour the pan.
  • Get your buttermilk caramel sauce ingredients ready so the caramel is ready to be poured over the cake after you let it cool for 15 min after baking. If you're doubling the cake recipe to use a larger pan, be sure to double the buttermilk caramel sauce recipe.
  • Into a very large saucepan with high sides add your buttermilk sauce ingredients. The mixture will foam a lot before it becomes caramel and cleaning this off your stove is a pain in the foot! Trust me, I'm speaking from experience. It's easier to clean a gigantic pot than the stove top.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Combine sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and OJ in a large bowl. Beat until well blended.
  • Stir in flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix well.
  • Fold in walnuts and apples.
  • Spoon into prepared pan.
  • Bake on 325° for 90 min or until the top springs back when pressed. If using more than 2 cups of apples bake longer. Right before you're ready to take the cake out of the oven, put your caramel sauce on to cook on medium-low on the stove.
  • Remove cake and cool in pan for 15 minute.
  • While cake is cooling for the 15 min, turn on your burner under the pot where you already prepared your buttermilk caramel sauce ingredients. Turn the burner on medium low. You're about to be in for a work-out.
  • Continuously stir the ingredients as they melt and foam and come together into a really loose sauce. You don't want this to thicken a great deal. It should NOT resemble caramel like you put on ice cream. It should be more of the consistency of pancake batter. It will take approximately 15 minute See what we did there? The cake cools for 15 min while the caramel cooks!
  • Poor your buttermilk caramel sauce over the cake. Poke some holes in the cake with a meat fork to help the caramel sauce get down into the cake. If you cooked the caramel too long it won't go down into the cake. It will just sit on top of the cake. Then you have to start over! But you can still eat the ruined cake over the sink. The calories don't count that way. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.

MY MOM'S OTHER SOFT APPLE CAKE (IN A TUBE PAN)



My Mom's Other Soft Apple Cake (In a Tube Pan) image

My mom is just amazing. After 70+ years of cooking for others, she keeps on coming up with new ideas for yet another delicious dish. Today she gave me this recipe for another soft apple cake (to distinguish them from her passover apple cake and her "hard" apple cake, my personal favorite). It whips up fast, makes a nice presentation, and freezes well if you dont gobble it down first. I think she got it from "America Cooks for Israel", a cookbook that happens to feature some of her recipes too, courtesy of her only daughter. ;-) Try it, and join in singing my mom's praise.

FRESH APPLE CAKE BY MEMOM



Fresh Apple Cake by MeMom image

I store my cake in a plastic cake carrier turned upside down. The icing will run off, therefore a regular cake plate will not work unless you have one with high sides. This cake is much better the day after. It is so very moist. It is even better if you put your slice in the microwave for 10 seconds to just have it warm. My family would disown me if I did not have this cake for holiday get-togethers. Nothing better with a cup of coffee.
